摘要: 基于第一性原理并结合粒子群优化算法的卡里普索（CALYPSO）晶体结构预测方法，研究在0～100 GPa压力下，过渡金属铱和类金属锑组成的化合物IrSb的相变行为和物理性质。研究发现：在常压下，具有立方结构
$\alpha $ -IrSb相的空间群为P63/mmc，与实验结果一致；在压力为16.4 GPa时，发现了一种新型立方结构$\beta $ -IrSb相，其空间群为C2/c；在76.5～100 GPa压力范围内，其稳定结构为空间群是P-1的$\gamma $ -IrSb相。声子色散关系计算结果表明：$\alpha $ -IrSb相、$\beta $ -IrSb相和$\gamma $ -IrSb相在各自的布里渊区没有出现虚频，具有动力学稳定性。计算得出3个相的形成焓均小于零，说明3个相均具有热力学稳定性。能带结构计算结果表明：3个相的晶体结构在费米面附近导带和价带均发生交叠，3个相均呈现金属性。计算并讨论了各相的电荷转移情况，研究发现：Ir原子是受主，Sb原子是施主，电荷从Sb原子向Ir原子转移。Abstract: Based on first-principle calculations and the structure prediction method CALYPSO of particle swarm optimization algorithms, phase transition behaviors and physical properties of IrSb in the pressure range of 0–100 GPa have been systematically studied. At ambient pressure, the space group of$\alpha $ -IrSb phase with cubic structure is P63/mmc, in consistency with experimental results. A new cubic structure,$\beta $ -IrSb phase, is found at 16.4 GPa with the space group of C2/c. When the pressure is above 76.5 GPa, the space group becomes P-1. The phonon dispersion shows that$\alpha $ -,$\beta $ - and$\gamma $ -IrSb phases have no virtual frequency in the whole Brillouin zone, thus the three phases are dynamically stable. Calculated results show that the formation enthalpy of three phases are less than zero, indicating that all the three phases have the thermodynamic stability. Band structure calculations show that all the three phases have the overlapping of conduction bands and valence bands near Fermi surface, thus are metallic phases. The charge transfer of each phase is calculated and discussed, in which Ir atoms are the acceptor and Sb atoms are the donor.-
